It doesn't. Visible light is only a tiny part of the energy spectrum of the sun's emissions. However the peak point of this very wide distribution occurs in the visible part of the spectrum, which is a consequence of the process of "natural selection" in the development of eyes in living creatures. The peak intensity point is itself determined by the temperature of the surface of the sun. If the sun had been a bit cooler, the peak point would have been in the infra red, and our eyes would be sensitive to that, with curious results.
What else can I help you with?
Does a candle emits infrared radiaton?
Yes, a candle emits infrared radiation as a form of heat energy. The flame of a candle produces a mix of visible light, heat, and infrared radiation as it burns.
What form of energy is absorbed by the palisade cell?
Visible light.
Energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. Most often associated with a wavelength that is visible to the eye.?
light energy
Is the sun radioactive?
Yes, the sun emits radiation in the form of light and heat through a process called nuclear fusion. This radiation is not harmful to us on Earth as it is mostly in the form of visible and infrared light.
Does the sun give off invisible light rays called microwaves?
No, the sun primarily emits visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared radiation. Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation with longer wavelengths than visible light, commonly associated with communication and cooking technology.
What energy comes out a tv?
A TV primarily emits light energy in the form of visible light and heat energy in the form of infrared radiation. Additionally, it also emits some electromagnetic radiation and sound energy through its speakers.
What type energy does a light bulb produce?
A light bulb produces radiant energy in the form of visible light. When electricity flows through the filament of a light bulb, it heats up and emits light.
Is the suns energy a form of light energy?
The sun produces electromagnetic energy in many different wavelengths including those within the spectrum visible by humans (i.e. visible light). This energy is the result of an intense nuclear fusion reaction in the sun's core.
What types of energy does an object at 5000C emit?
An object at 5000°C emits thermal radiation, which is a form of electromagnetic energy. This radiation includes infrared and visible light energy.
What types of energy are released by a light bulb?
A light bulb primarily releases electromagnetic energy in the form of visible light when it is illuminated. It also emits a small amount of thermal energy in the form of infrared radiation due to the heat generated by the bulb's filament.
As the temperature of a star increases does the amount of light it emits increase or decrease?
As the temperature of a star increases, the amount of light it emits increases. This is because hotter objects emit more energy in the form of light, including higher energy photons in the visible spectrum, leading to a brighter appearance.
Does a candle emits infrared radiaton?
Yes, a candle emits infrared radiation as a form of heat energy. The flame of a candle produces a mix of visible light, heat, and infrared radiation as it burns.
What is a visible form of energy?
visible light waves
What part of the sun's layer emits visible light?
The part of the sun that emits visible light is the photosphere. This layer is the sun's surface and is where the temperature is about 5,500 degrees Celsius (9,932 degrees Fahrenheit). The photosphere radiates energy in the form of visible light, making it the layer we see when we observe the sun. It is also the source of solar phenomena like sunspots and solar flares.
Combustion potential chemical energy is transformed mostly into?
When chemical energy is converted into thermal energy during combustion, it is transformed mostly into heat and light energy. This process releases energy in the form of heat and emits light, resulting in a visible flame.
A campfire emits what 2 ranges of electromagnetic radiation?
A campfire emits electromagnetic radiation in the infrared and visible light ranges.
Is fire a type of light energy?
Yes, fire emits light energy in the form of heat and visible light. It is produced due to the chemical reactions that occur when a fuel source combines with oxygen in a process called combustion.
